2002 Beetle gls 1.8T 01m to o2j swap. There is no wire (even on the wiring diagram) for pin 13 at the tcu to ecm pin 19. No pin 19 physically at the ecm connector nor pin 13 at the tcm connector. I see a pin 12 on the diagram (i looked for a 2002 jetta as well, still no pin 13 or 19) pin 12 leads to pin 41 on the ecm. Does this still apply to swapping to pin 66?
@hestermannmotorwerks14 күн бұрын
Yes any of the connections from the TCU to ECU (ECM) can be used to make that circuit. Since the TCU will no longer be used/powered, you can take any of those circuits BUT! Sometimes there is a “T” that takes that signal somewhere else for example there is often a ABS to TCU to ECU 3 way and if you remove that TCU to ECU leg, you disable the ABS to ECU leg.

If you mean adjust the milage displaying on the odometer, I can’t help with that. If you mean your milage per gallon is low, I would recommend servicing the vehicle with new air and fuel filters, check tire pressures, look for boost leaks (if a turbo car) along with the usual checks for dragging brakes and suck

The wiring should be really close if not exactly the same between the 04 (in the video) and your 05. Don't be afraid to use the OHM meter function of your multimeter just to verify you are getting the correct wires. The ECU in particular can be very hard to see what pin numbers are and in some cases they read right to left instead of left to right

@hestermannmotorwerks4 ай бұрын
First thing is to check your grounds. If you unbolted one or two in the build, get them grounded again. Next, Use a needle or a pin and see if there is voltage before the converter. If there is constant voltage on the brake wire (red/black) before the converter, problem is upstream in the car. If voltage is correct there (only voltage when the brake is depressed) then check that the converter is grounded and wired correctly, it’s possible you have a bad converter. If voltage is coming out of the converter correctly, then there is a missing ground or a problem in the tail lights themselves

I'm working on this area on my 2nd beetle and I notice that you retained the vertical body line but your door does not stick way out like mine did. I like that look but the only way I could have achieved it would have been to shim behind the surround panel to push it out. Is that what you did there to bring it out or is there a difference in model years? Both of my builds are 07's and the door sticks way out and looks weird. Because of that, I filled that area to make it flush. Lots of extra work.
@hesty325 ай бұрын
I can't remember what video talks about that. But the answer is yes, I often put a spacer on the B-piller (panel bond) before mounting the rear window surround. I usually cut it out of the window fall off. That seems to work nicely. Sometimes the rear window surround is a little tight though when fitting it. Just depends on the kit. I also did one on the outside. Bonded a piece of fiberglass onto the outside of the rear window surround which is much the same as laying a couple layers of glass on there as you did. I challenge I found of putting the spacer on the outside is that the upper rear corner can come out weird and it takes a lot of sanding to get it looking good. When I do a single piece of fiberglass from the rear window cut out, it still ends up being about a 3/32-1/8 inch difference behind the rear of the door and the front edge of the window surround. But putting a thicker spacer in makes it really tough to get the rear window surround on and laying correctly. So I accept the 3/32-1/8 difference.

First thing I recommend is double checking your PIN numbers. It is easy to count the wrong direction or misread the little numbers. If you do indeed have a wire already in pin 39, then I’m not sure what is going on. All the gas engines from 2000 and newer utilize the same pin

Hello Mr. Hestermann, I have a few questions about several pieces that I see in this video that you have added, but I did not receive in my Smyth Kit for my MK5 Jetta. Between 2:27 and 2:34 in your video, it shows you riviting some kind of plate on the outside of the left side bed panel. My kit did not have this piece in it. Is this something extra that you added? Also, between 6:47 and 7:41 in this video, it shows you riviting an aluminum plate under the left bed side panel and then bolting that same piece of aluminum to the B-Pillar brace. I didn't get that piece of aluminum in my MK5 kit. Is this something extra that you have added? Also at 7:35 in the video it shows another panel rivited to the right side bed panel above the gas filler neck cup. Is this another extra piece that you added? I didn't get one in my kit. Also, behind both wheel wells, there is a straight channel brace rivited between the side bed panels and the outer edge of the body floor pan. Once again, is this an extra brace that you added? I didn't receive these two braces in my MK5 kit! I would really appreciate your assistance with these questions! Thank you.
